Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon took 19 carries for 65 yards with one catch for an additional five yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The ground game fell victim to a pass-centric Bengals first half that saw 33 Joe Burrow dropbacks to seven Mixon rush attempts, but that ratio evened out a bit in the second half with Cincinnati's defense disrupting the Rams all night. Mixon made a nice cut on a 14-yard dash to the end zone to top off a 10-play scoring drive out of the half to ignite the crowd and ease the pressing Bengals offense for the moment. The 27-year-old has produced solid, yet unspectacular returns in each of campaign's initial three games, amassing at least 70 total yards in each. Mixon may find running room hard to come by on the road in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans, who have sold out to plug the trenches at the expense of a sieve-like secondary.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught 2-of-8 targets for 21 yards in Monday's 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old didn't make his first catch until the middle of the second quarter on a third-and-long checkdown, and he dropped a pass on the ensuing series. Higgins proceeded to push off on Ahkello Witherspoon to set back a drive following a Bengals takeaway that put them in great field position. He chipped in a 13-yard play on Cincinnati's only touchdown drive of the game but committed another drop in the third quarter, which stalled what amounted into a field-goal drive. Higgins had to make a brief exit with cramps to rub salt in the wound but returned at the start of the fourth. His uneven start to the year may have fantasy managers questioning their trust in him, but Higgins nonetheless belongs on the WR1/2 fringe in Week 4's cushy draw with the Tennessee Titans.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 12-of-15 targets for 141 yards in Monday's close 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The two-time Pro Bowler shined as one of the offense's lone bright spots on the evening. Chase made a few beautiful toe-dragging catches along the sideline in the second quarter, but they didn't ultimately provide a spark for Cincinnati's dormant first-half offense. He found some open space for a 43-yard catch-and-run to catalyze an eventual third-quarter scoring drive. Chase had more catches through Monday's first three quarters (11) than he had over his first two games collectively (10), and the 23-year-old may have emphatically slammed shut his fantasy buy-low window on Monday. Chase looks in Week 4 to be the latest WR1 to victimize a leaky Tennessee Titans secondary, who have consistently dispensed 100-yard receiving days in the opening three weeks.

Dynasty | Eagles running back D'Andre Swift had 130 rushing yards in the Eagles easy win against Tampa Bay. Dynasty Analysis: He added one catch for eight yards. It was the second straight big game for Swift, who now has over 300 rushing yards over the past two weeks. Kenneth Gainwell had just two fewer carries (14) than Swift but averaged five fewer yards per carry and looked like the clear #2 back tonight. This is a big development in dynasty leagues as Swift finally looks like a potential RB1 for the first time in 2023.

Dynasty | Bucs running back Rachaad White had just 38 yards on 14 carries in the Tampa Bay loss to Philadelphia. Dynasty Analysis: White avoided total disaster with three catches for 24 yards but just couldn't get anything going against the stout defense of the Eagles. With just 150 total rushing yards, ten catches and one touchdown on the season, it's time to start worrying about his status as the lead back in Tampa for the long-term. White managers would be wise to stash Sean Tucker, though he hasn't exactly set the world on fire, either. White will be in the crosshairs in week four as dynasty managers need to evaluate him at the quarter pole of the season. At this point, his ranking of RB22 is in peril.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Puka Nacua had five catches for 72 yards in the Rams MNF loss to the Bengals. Dynasty Analysis: His fantasy night was saved with a 37-yard grab in garbage time. Tutu Atwell paced the Rams with nine targets but Nacua was close behind with seven. While the crazy streak of ridiculous fantasy production comes to a halt, Nacua has still established himself as a weekly starter in fantasy leagues even though his ascension up the rankings will slow after tonight.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) completed 26-of-49 attempts for 259 yards and one interception in Monday's narrow 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Cincinnati's game plan called for a hobbled Burrow to get the ball out quick despite a zone-heavy Rams defense that wasn't sending much heat for most of the night. It was a sleepy first half for the entire Bengals offense, and the 26-year-old's mostly rhythmless start to the year dragged into this one for a pitiful 5.3 yards per attempt on 49 throws. Burrow's pick came on a great fourth-quarter play by Ahkello Witherspoon to keep LA within striking distance when it seemed Cincy was about to pull away. Look for Burrow and the Bengals to try and open up the air attack in a prime opportunity to do so in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans defense, which has nearly surrendered three consecutive 300-yard passing days to open the season.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught five of seven targets for 41 yards during the team's 25-11 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his best performance of the season to date, the 28-year-old has seen seven targets each of the past two games but has been unable to do much with them. Goedert ended up ranking second in targets on the night but gave fantasy managers another frustratingly low fantasy performance. Better days are surely ahead for the Eagles' tight end if he can continue to see a high target share, but he has a stiff matchup against Washington next week, who give up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of five targets for 28 yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After finishing with 131 yards last week and scoring in each of the past two games, the former Heisman winner came back to earth for fantasy managers and had a slow night. A.J. Brown got the squeaky wheel treatment after having two underwhelming performances to open the season and was given 14 targets. Smith has a great shot to bounce back next week against the division rival Washington Commanders and should be considered a top-tier WR2 in Week 4.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown during the team's 25-11 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Filling in for Quez Watkins (hamstring), the former Atlanta Falcon posted his first touchdown as a member of the Eagles on a beautiful 34-yard pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts with only minutes left to go in the second quarter. While it is a nice story, Zaccheaus carries little fantasy value moving forward. Netting just three targets as the clear fourth option, Philadelphia does not typically throw enough to keep four pass catchers fantasy relevant. The 26-year-old can be safely left on the waiver wire during the team's Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught nine of 14 targets for 131 yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Many believed the 26-year-old would get the squeaky wheel treatment, and he led the team in targets by a wide margin, doubling the next closest teammate, Dallas Goedert. Brown would have had an even bigger night, but he dropped a touchdown in the back of the end zone in the second half. Fantasy managers who were panicking can rest easy, as the Eagles' top target will have multiple top-tier fantasy performances moving forward. Brown is a must-start option against the Washington Commanders next week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been a focal point of this offense early in the season. That remained the case during Monday's matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran wideout hauled in five of his 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs attempted to get Evans involved early on, but he wasn't able to haul in his touchdown until the score was out of reach. Evans should remain an important piece of this offense going forward. He should be considered a WR2 for their matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 16 carries for 130 yards and added one reception for eight yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old gained over 100 yards on the ground for the second week in a row. He averaged 8.1 yards per carry, led the team in total carries, and was clearly the best back on the field for the Eagles. Kenneth Gainwell ended the night with 14 carries but saw eight of those on the game's final drive, where Philadelphia was trying to drain the clock. Swift will always mix in with another back, his injury history dictates that he is kept fresh, but he is the clear top back for the Eagles moving forward and has top-12 upside every week. The Georgia alum will be a must-start against the Washington Commanders next week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been off to a slow start to begin the season. The veteran wideout continued to slump as he wasn't able to get much going against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. Godwin hauled in three of his five targets for 32 yards in the loss. He continues to be the second option to Mike Evans in this passing attack. Godwin is still involved, but Evans has been getting most of the scoring chances. That being said, Godwin falls into WR3 territory for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell took 14 carries for 43 yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his return from a rib injury, the 24-year-old took a backseat to D'Andre Swift until the game's final drive, where he was given eight carries while Philadelphia was milking the clock. Gainwell was largely inefficient, averaging 3.1 yards per carry and running straight into defenders once he crossed the line of scrimmage. Swift's second straight performance of over 100 yards has secured him the starting role. However, Gainwell still carries fantasy value in plus matchups and will take over as the clear leader if anything happens to the former Detroit Lion. Consider the third-year back a low-end flex option in Week 4 against the division rival Washington Commanders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been a workhorse back for this offense early in the season. Last week, White rushed for over 70 yards in the victory over the Chicago Bears. Sadly, White wasn't able to carry over that success into the Monday night matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. The second-year back rushed 14 times for 38 yards, while adding three receptions for 24 yards through the air. It's also worth noting that White lost a key fumble for the Bucs during this game. It was a tough game for White, but he should bounce back from this performance. He'll be on the flex radar for the Week 4 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 23 of 37 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding 10 carries for 28 yards and an additional score during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Philadelphia was in control for most of the contest, with Hurts looking much more poised in the pocket. Once the rain started to come down, the passing game was compromised a bit for both offenses. The 25-year-old threw a bad pick on a miscommunication throw and had a deep pass intercepted on the goal line. It was not the best performance from Hurts, but the Tampa Bay defense kept the pressure on all night. The Eagles quarterback will be a must-start again next week against the division rival Washington Commanders.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles safety Justin Evans (neck) has officially been ruled out of Monday night's contest against Tampa Bay. The starting strong safety suffered a neck injury in the first half of the game and could not return. Terrell Edmunds saw more opportunities in his absence as the defense held the Buccaneers to 11 points. This defense has been banged up and not quite as dominant as the season prior, but they have been able to post some solid performances. Fantasy managers may want to keep tabs on Evans' status for Week 4 because Reed Blankenship may see increased value in IDP leagues.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was exceeding expectations coming into the Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the former first-round pick struggled during Monday's loss to Philly. He completed 15-of-25 passing attempts for 146 yards with a touchdown and one interception in the 25-11 loss. His lone turnover was a bad interception where Mayfield made a bad read on the play. The hope is that Mayfield rebounds versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. He'll remain on the QB2 radar for that game.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (shoulder) left Monday night's game in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury and has officially been ruled as questionable to return. Before leaving, he registered three solo tackles. Despite the two interceptions that the Tampa Bay defense has forced, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have been able to pass for over 230 yards so far. Dean is one of the starting corners on this defense which means Christian Izien will be next up to see some opportunities in his absence.
